KB484184: Initializing the Amazon S3 connector causes MicroStrategy Web 2020 to hang


Mengran (Molly) Wang

Senior Cloud Support Engineer III • MicroStrategy


This article explains why the page hangs when using the Amazon S3 connector to add external data in MicroStrategy Web 2019 and 2020. This article also provides a solution to avoid this behavior.

Description


When adding external data in Strategy Web 2019 or 2020, selecting the Amazon S3 connector may cause the page to hang and not direct you to the configuration page.

In the fiddler log, the 

DIGetCloudElementToken
task returns a 505 error and the following response header:
X-MSTR-TaskFailureMsg: You have entered an invalid name.

However, in the fiddler log collected in-house where the issue does not exist, there are queries from https://thanos.cloud-elements.com/v1/application to generate the token.

Why is this happening?


The Amazon S3 connector is hosted by a vendor. When you are unable to see the connector page, it usually means it failed to create a corresponding account or user on Cloud Elements platform.

Solution


Make sure https://thanos.cloud-elements.com/v1/application is accessible in both the Intelligence Server machine and client machine. When it’s accessible, you will see the following browser:

In a Linux machine:

You can also check the DSSErrors log in both the Intelligence Server and client machines.
In both the Intelligence Server and client machines, whitelist https://thanos.cloud-elements.com.
